String s = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"What is your name?",
                    "Answer me these questions three!",
                    JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
                    null,
                    null,
                    "ilovechicken");
       System.out.println(s);

There you go :) Of course, swing must be imported for JOptionPane to be found.

Check out the API reference at java.sun.com.
